Andy StaplesLincoln Riley and Brian Kelly moved because it's easier to win a national title at USC and LSU
I really do think both of these moves were about finding a place where it's easier to win the national title than where you're at. ... This is more about winning the playoff than getting in the playoff because you have two guys who could get in the playoff, but couldn't win it.

Big CatRussell Wilson is no longer a top five NFL quarterback
It's just very bizarre to me that like Russell Wilson, he's not a top five quarterback right now. ... If you're talking about like the guys that are difference makers weekend and week out, he's not that. He hasn't been that for a little bit right now.
PFT CommenterI would rather have Taylor Heinicke on my team moving forward than Russell Wilson
I would rather have Taylor Heinicke on my team right now, moving forward than Russell Wilson, which it sounds insane to say, especially thinking back like four or five weeks ago when he looked so bad, but he's, he's legitimately fun to watch.
Big CatNotre Dame winning a national title without Brian Kelly would be the greatest sports story ever
If you're a fan of just objectively funny things, you should be a fan of Notre Dame winning the national title this year because Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame being like 'I can't ever win a national title here. I got to go to LSU' and then watching his team and his coaching staff, winning national title without them would be one of the greatest sports stories of all time.

I think you'd have to call Indiana the favorite. I mean, they, they've been the most consistent all year long. They've played the best in the biggest games all year long. And that goes back to, to when they went to Eugene and beat Oregon.
Andy StaplesIf a college coach doesn't show significant improvement by Year 2, the hire was a failure
If your guy's not getting it done by year two, you blew the higher. That's, that's it. In this era, you blew the higher, if your guy's not good by year two... if you've got a coach te begging for patience, that's a coach who knows He's already cooked.
Andy StaplesThe Tennessee vs Oklahoma game is a playoff elimination game
I'd say the game that intrigues me most is a pure playoff elimination game in Knoxville... Tennessee, Oklahoma, absolute winner is alive, loser is dead. And the Oklahoma fans very down on Brent Venables. They'll love him if he wins.
